The DOJ and the FCC are typical Government.... They get drunk with power with all of the perks they get with their almost guaranteed job for life! They forget who they work for. Us tax payers pay their wages and they seem to lose track of who their customer's are.
Can you see a private Company taking this long to make a decision? I'm sure the executives in charge would be fired in less than 30 days without informing all as to why extra time is needed. That explanation had better be good in private operations.
Knowing our government I'd give them 3 months and would think that would be enough time. 6 months.... I'd think they might have found something that might be real important for our Country's security. 9 months... if they found something of any threat they should have informed their customer's (Tax Payers) of if it long before by now. 12 months......this has become a joke to us Tax Paying Customers who pay them to do a job!!
Wonder how much extra their slow decesion has cost us Tax Payers.... Government paid free meals, hotel stays, rental cars, airline tickets, meeting rooms, phone bills, ware and tare on Government owed cars, maintainance on those cars, gas for those cars, wages for all of these payroll leaks, etc. I could go on........
At this point as a very small stock holder I am ready for a gain or a loss and just want my Tax Dollars put to better use than these guys can do. They should all be fired unless EACH one of them have a good reason for burning our Tax Dollars for so long. After they make a decesion....DON'T LET THEM OF THE HOOK. Even if you like or don't like the outcome....HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
Why do I vent.... to teach the young. I'm a 57 yr. old Power Lineman and our Company was bought out by Warren Buffet 2 years ago. He just cut our retirment plan and I worked my whole life thinking the company I worked for had a good retirement plan (65% of my straight time pay and I would pay 15% of that for med. ins. at age 62). Well after 35 years of climbing poles to keep the lights on for our community, Warren stepped in and bought the company and cut our retirement (froze it at the current rate). The average age of Lineman with our company is 53 years old (He also doesn't want to train younger men to do our job as that cost him money. He has just been forced to by the P.U.C.) Our pensions start to grow at age 55....mine just died.
I have 3 sisters that I love dearly and can you believe it...they all have government jobs in Ca. All of them will and have retired from the State of Ca. Not one of them will retire with less that 90% of their straight time wage. My oldest Sis retired with 110% of her pay and her husband did even better with State retirement.
A lot of people in our Government have done very little to the people that pay them as they are SPECIAL. Try special at the top of a 60'/110' pole or 500' tower during the worst weather you can imagine. Us Lineman used to have what we call LINEMAN PRIDE (We would do whatever it took to get your lights back on in any weather and as quick as we can). Most Lineman are like that but not the ones that Work for Buffet!!
Hope I can write a book about the Dark Side of Warren when I retire at 65. He guts the American Working Families and gives to other Countries. The Media loves him and Lineman that he thinks he ownes hate him. He has so much $ and just took 50% of what I risked my neck for my whole life. :(
Just lost 35 years of Lineman Pride.....Sorry
Thanks for listening to me VENT and you young investors....KEEP PRESSURE on the people you pay to make your decisions!!!!!!!!! Old farts like me can't do it anymore.
Think Happy Thoughts :) But get the job done! Dipwads are spending BIG BUCKS and getting BIG PERKS as they drag this along. MAKES SOME CALLS YOUNG PEOPLE!! Senators would be a start if you have free time.
